A while back, Nintendo partnered with West Coast Customs to construct a working life-sized Mario Kart go cart.

And now, Gamestop is giving one away as a part of their PowerUp Rewards program.

I told my wife about it yesterday and did my best to describe the epic-ness of such a prize. It didn't go so well. The conversation went something like this...

Me: Hey, if we buy or trade a game at Gamestop, we'll be entered to win this full sized Mario Kart.
Bekah: (pitiless sarcasm) Ooooohhh.
Me: Wouldn't that be awesome? Christian would love it.
Bekah: Who in their right mind would want one of those? What would anyone do with it?
Me: I'd drive it to work.

If you were following my twitter/facebook feed on Saturday night, you may have noticed the following updates.

• I actually broke a sweat playing ping pong. On the plus side, I won.
• Feels like should be midnight. #dang
• Been playing air hockey & ping pong with the kids for the past two hours. #ImGettingTooOldForThis
• However, I took a break from the fun & games for highjinks that may or may not have included toilet paper. #AlsoFun
• For the record, toilet paper was involved. Lots of it. There are pictures.

Pictures were promised and I deliver.

I told Bekah about our plans via text message.

Which leads to one of the other tweets you may have seen from me:

• "Are you one of the adults?" question someone just asked me. #hehe #thanks
